Background:
Pavement Preservation Program
The City is committed to maintaining safe, reliable, and efficient roadways through its Pavement Preservation Program. This ongoing yearly CIP is designed to extend the life of our streets, reduce long-term maintenance costs, and improve overall driving conditions for all users
What is Pavement Preservation?
Pavement preservation refers to a proactive approach to maintaining the City’s roadway network by applying the right treatment, to the right road, at the right time. Rather than waiting for streets to deteriorate to the point of costly reconstruction, preservation strategies allow us to maximize the life of existing pavement through timely and cost-effective interventions.
How We Prioritize Streets
The City uses the updated Pavement Management Program (PMP) from October 2024 and a Roadway Prioritization Matrix to guide decisions about where and when to perform pavement treatments. These tools evaluate road conditions, disadvantaged communities, bike paths, functional classification, designated routes, attractors, utilities, sidewalks, and future CIPs to help us determine which roads and streets will be selected efficiently, cost effectively, and equitably across the city.
Types of Pavement Treatment
Pavement treatments fall into three main categories:
Preservation – Includes surface treatments, such as slurry seals, cape seals, and micro surfacing, by applying a layer that protect and extend the life of roads in good condition.
Rehabilitation – Involves more intensive work like dig outs and overlays that restore roads that are moderately deteriorated.
Reconstruction – Reserved for streets that are severely damaged and require full-depth replacement.
By using a combination of these strategies, the City aims to improve the condition of its streets while making the best use of available funding.
Scope:
The proposed work of the 2025 Pavement Preservation Program includes, but is not limited to, removal of existing traffic stripes, markings and markers, dig-out of pavement and placement of Type II Slurry Seal, Cape Seal, Type II Micro surface, and installation of thermoplastic pavement striping markings and markers.
Project Benefits:
The 2025 Pavement Preservation Program offers numerous long-term benefits for the community, local infrastructure, and public safety. These proactive maintenance efforts are designed to extend the service life of existing roadways, enhance ride quality, and reduce the need for costly full-depth reconstruction.
Preserving pavement through timely interventions (such as slurry seal, chip seal, or micro-surfacing) significantly lowers lifecycle costs by delaying major repairs and applying preservation treatments at the right time can extend the life of pavement by 5–10 years or more, maximizing the return on infrastructure investment.
In addition, enhanced surface conditions improve traction and visibility, reducing accident risks and improving safety for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Measure O - Approved by voters in November 2024, Measure O enacts a 1% local sales tax effective April 1, 2025, projected to generate approximately $21 million annually. The funds are allocated to enhance public safety, infrastructure, parks, and homelessness response
Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), also known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, is a California transportation funding law that provides over $5 billion annually to fix roads, freeways, and bridges across the state. Funded by increases in fuel taxes and vehicle fees, SB 1 allocates money to both state and local governments for maintenance, safety improvements, public transit, and active transportation projects. The law includes strict accountability measures to ensure funds are used for transportation-related purposes only.
